Mutual Schemes and Extraordinary Stratagems

The group entered the city gate.

Su Rong's voice slipped into Lin Su's ear again. "I saw the look in Ji Wen's eyes. It was full of malice and killing intent. Why?"

"Most of the malice in this world is utterly inexplicable! ...Only now have I realized how rare it is for people like you and me, who met amid the wilds and share a clean, quiet friendship between gentlemen!"

Su Rong was a little bewildered. Their relationship was clean? Their relationship was quiet?

Lin Su's gaze fell on her face. "Did Miss Li find your martial uncle in Nanshan Prefecture earlier?"

Su Rong gently shook her head. "..."

"I may be delayed in the capital for a few days. After that, I'll return to Nanshan Prefecture. If you have nothing pressing to do, why not wait for me in the capital for a while? This time, I'll keep my word. So long as your martial uncle is in Nanshan Prefecture, I'll definitely help you find him!"

Su Rong's heartbeat suddenly quickened...

What did he mean?

He was taking the initiative to show goodwill, to build a connection, and even leaving behind a new opening...

She slowly nodded. "All right!"

"Do you have somewhere to stay?"

"No."

"Then come with me. We'll find a better inn. You know the jianghu better than I do, but I definitely know the capital better than you. Come..."

Lin Su brought Su Rong to the Yuebin Inn where he often stayed and booked two rooms, both superior rooms on the top floor, right beside each other...

After Su Rong tidied up a little, Lin Su came over and knocked on her door...

Miss Li, I need to go to the government office to handle something.

All right!

Then Su Rong watched Lin Su leave.
